I'm no engineer . . . Obviously they didn't HAVE to change from the standard
Leur lock connection in order to get waterproofness (as you said, both Animas
and Disetronic managed to produce waterproof pumps without doing that) . . .
But, for whatever reason, Minimed choose to design a non-standard connection
for the infusion sets for the Paradigm . . . BTW, I don't think I mentioned
that I originally got the info about special Paradigm-only infusion sets from
an IP Minimed chat transcript 4-6 months ago. I think someone here also
posted an excerpt from some correspondence he'e had with Minimed confirming
this . . .
